Bishop Fountain Speaks To
State
Taking as his subject, “The
Lord Hath Need of You,’’ Dr.
William A. Fountain, bishop of
the African Methodist Episco¬
pal church, diocese of Georgia,
delivered an impressive mes¬
sage Sunday to the graduating
class at the Georgia State col¬
lege. An overflowing audience
attended the exercises.
The bishop called attention
to the fact that the master
teacher for all times continual
ly humbled himself. By this
humility he gave everlastingly
proof of his divinity. Any
n an who expects to gain much
headway in life must humble
himself in his service to his
fellowman, he stated. He
must continually think of his
obligations as well as his op¬
portunities.
In defining education, he
said education is not a mere
collection of facts but a bul¬
wark of character the fine
art of living together—the
tool, the goal of human life
in human living. It is the
progressive participation in
complete living.
The bishop called attention
